(ONE WOMAN TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE SMALLER CROWDS DOWNTOWN SATURDAY MORNING)

An at-times biting wind and chilly temperatures couldn't discourage those who attended Saturday's 11th Annual Effingham Artisan Fair.

The sun eventually shone around 11:30am, but the faithful were already on hand by that time. They viewed works from 40 different craftsmen, enjoyed music and food, made sure their running shoes were well-used during the EffingHAM 5K 2016, and added a twist to shopping downtown by participating in the Swing Fling that gave them the opportunity to win a basketful of downtown merchants gifts.
